Cavina: «Eurobasket is the most experienced team in A2»

TORTONA.After two good matches, coinciding with victories, Derthona is awaiting the first of the two away games in Rome. In what spirit do Lions travel? “We managed to reset the joy of the last important home victory, working very seriously to prepare for the match against the Eurobasket – comments coach Demis Cavina – We face what is probably the most experienced team in the entire A2 series and which already in the first leg he was able to put us in difficulty thanks to his technical qualities and use of tactics. Bonessio's injury and Iannilli's arrival have changed their rotations, without however affecting the team's confidence and dangerousness, especially in the open field." How did your training week go? “The recovery of Davide Alviti was very important as, although he was inserted gradually, he was able to return to working at his usual levels. We chose to keep our program unchanged despite playing on Saturday, concentrating our work on the tactical situations that we had already seen in the first leg." What are the themes on which Sunday's match will be played? “Without going too much into technical-tactical aspects, I think we will have to insist on continuity in our defensive half of the pitch. On Sunday, against Latina, a small decline in this respect cost us an important break. With our current structure we cannot afford it.”
